Shot from the viewing balcony towards the north. Canon equipment, ISO 800, 5 sec, f2.8, Gitzo tripod, remote switch.
The lights of Keflavik Airport / Reykjanesbaer (left side) and Reyjavik (right side) can be seen on the horizon. In some photos of the sequence, an airplane appears as it takes off from the airport. The power lines on the horizon (left side) come from the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power station. The "W" of the constellation Cassiopeia is clearly visible at the top of the image (left of centre).
